To be honest, after PG's recent post about rising spam wave from low carma accounts (I have 160), I was afraid to post my link. Link posted above is correct though.

good luck with that. my advice: you need to choose if you want to build another YC or just do your startup. building another YC cant be part-time thing (and i doubt that someone without proven success in past can do it at all)

Q: How do you imagine selection process? How would you filter all kinds of "chatroullete without penises" things ? YC not just represent SIGNIFICANT NUMBER they represent some(!) of the BEST startups. Thats why they can access vendors, blog

If you have PHP site i'd strongly suggest to keep going with PHP admin backend. Otherwise you need to re-engineer all model mapping in Rails. Technically possible, but hardly makes sense. My email is vlad@videolla.com
